Abdominal exercise and radiofrequency for diastasis recti
Part of Injuries & trauma clinical trials.
This study tests a combination of abdominal exercises and a heat-based treatment (radiofrequency) to improve the gap in the abdominal muscles after pregnancy (diastasis recti). It may help women who have not tried this kind of treatment before.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are a woman between 18 and 45 years old.
- You have been diagnosed with diastasis recti (separation of the abdominal muscles) with a width of at least 2.5 cm.
- You have not had treatment for diastasis recti before.
- You do not have an umbilical hernia (a bulge near the belly button).
- You are not pregnant and are not planning to become pregnant soon.
- You do not have an intestinal disease like irritable bowel syndrome (IBS) or Crohn's disease, and you do not have any condition that prevents using heat therapy (e.g., open wounds, tumors, or other contraindications).

This study tests if a program of trunk and breathing exercises can help close the gap in abdominal muscles (diastasis recti) that sometimes happens after pregnancy. It is for women who are at least 6 months postpartum and have a muscle separation larger than 2.8 cm.
This study compares two types of gentle exercises to help close the gap that forms between abdominal muscles after childbirth. You'll be assigned to one exercise program and measured to see which works better.
This study tests whether a specific exercise program can help narrow and stiffen the connective tissue between your belly muscles after childbirth. If you have a natural separation of the belly muscles (diastasis), this exercise may help your core get stronger and reduce that gap.
This study tests a non-invasive treatment using a magnetic field device to help close the gap in abdominal muscles that can happen after pregnancy. It aims to improve the separation of the tummy muscles, which may help with core strength and appearance.
This study tests whether Pilates and specific core exercises can help close the gap between abdominal muscles (called diastasis recti) that commonly happens after pregnancy. Diastasis recti can cause weakness and discomfort, and this trial evaluates whether these exercises improve that condition.
This study compares two types of exercises to help close the gap in your belly muscles that can happen after pregnancy. It may be for you if you have a gap larger than 4cm and certain types of pain.
